Unrelated Business Income

A non-profit can lose its 501(c)(3) Tax-Exempt Organization status if it generates too much unrelated business income from the exempt function of the organization. If your business idea addresses a social need but you plan on retaining a profit from your business, you can consider structuring your business as a Social Enterprise rather than a non-profit. California recently introduced two “hybrid” corporate forms for social enterprises: the Flexible-Purpose Corporation and the Benefit Corporation.

STATEMENT OF RISK FACTORS

THIS STATEMENT OF RISK FACTORS (the “Risk Factors”) is provided on this ___________, 20__, by and between XYZ Corporation, an <State> corporation (the “Company”), and _______________________ (the “Investor”).

RECITALS:

The Investor and the Company have entered into a Convertible Note Purchase Agreement of event date herewith. The Company has identified certain risks which the Investor should be apprised of which it desires to disclose to the Investor as a part of the note purchase transaction.

– STATEMENT OF RISK FACTORS –

Investing in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. The risk factors and all other information disclosed in the Convertible Promissory Note transaction must be carefully considered before making an investment decision regarding the Securities. One or more of these risk factors could cause a loss of part or all funds invested in the Securities.

The Company may not be able to create the products or produce the inventory is estimates it will need to launch the business with Seed Capital to prove its business concept.

The Company may not be able to create the products or produce the inventory necessary to prove its business concept and in turn to make its Series A offering. In such a case, the expected conversion of the Investors’ debt into an equity security would not take place and the anticipated benefit of equity ownership would not occur.

The Company may not raise sufficient funds to close the Series A offering and the investor may not be able to convert its debt to equity.

The Company may not raise funds sufficient to close the Series A Round. If sufficient funds are not raised to close the Series A Round, the Investors’ only recourse may be to secure the repayment of the principal and interest of their loans from the Company.

The Company is recently formed and has not operating history and no revenues.

The Company was only recently formed and has no operating history and has generated no revenues. There is no assurance that the Company can generate revenues or sell any of its products in the marketplace, and even if revenues are generated there is no assurance that the Company can earn a profit, in which case the Investors’ notes may not be repaid

Estimated expenses may exceed the projected Seed Capital needs.

The Company has estimated the cost of certain expenses required to fund its seed capital needs which will allow it to conduct its Series A offering. If expenses exceed those projected, the Series A offering may be delayed or cancelled which would negatively impact the conversion of the Investors’ notes into equity.

The Company is thinly capitalized and may default on the Convertible Notes.

The Company’s working capital will consist of the funds secured from the sale of the Convertible Notes. If expenses and anticipated uses of these funds exceed those anticipated by the Company there may be insufficient funds to pay back the Investors’ loans.

In the event of default on the notes, the assets of the Company pledged as collateral in the Security Agreement would not be sufficient to repay all of the Investors’ loans.

The Company has provided a Security Agreement for each Convertible Note which encumbers all of the assets of the Company. If the assets were liquidated pursuant to a default and foreclosure, there would not be sufficient cash generated to pay off the principal or interest due on the Convertible Promissory Notes.

THE COMPANY IS OFFERING THE SECURITIES PURSUANT TO AVAILABLE EXEMPTIONS FROM REGISTRATION UNDER FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS. IF THE INVESTORS’ PROMISSORY NOTES ARE CONVERTED, ADDITIONAL RISKS WILL BE DISCLOSED ACCORDING TO A PRIVATE PLACEMENT MEMORANDUM AT THE TIME OF THE CONVERSION. THESE SECURITIES WHEN ISSUED WILL BE RESTRICTED SECURITIES AND GENERALY MUST BE HELD INDEFINATELY. THEY MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED UNLESS PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OR AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION WITH AN OPINION FROM LEGAL COUNSEL TO THAT EFFECT SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY. THE COMPANY IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION AND HAS NO INTENTION, TO REGISTER THE SECURITIES AND IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO ATTEMPT TO SECURE AN EXEMPTION FOR ANY SUBSEQUENT SALE.

Additional disclosures may have been required if this Note Purchase Agreement and related documents had been reviewed by federal or state securities regulators.

Because this transaction is a private offering and not registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 or state securities laws, it has not been reviewed by the Securities and Exchange Commission or the state securities regulators. Review may have resulted in additional disclosures by the Company.

Investment in the Securities involves complex tax consequences; no tax opinion has been secured.

The tax consequences related to an investment in the Convertible Notes is complex and may involve the application of United States, state and local taxes. There has been no tax opinion secured related to the taxation of the Limited Partnership Units or any other advice or counsel for the investors. INVESTORS ARE URGED TO CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OR TO SECURE THEIR OWN TAX OPINIONS.

Conclusion.

GENERALLY, IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE RISKS, BUSINESSES ARE OFTEN SUBJECT TO RISKS NOT FORESEEN OR FULLY APPRECIATED BY MANAGEMENT. IN REVIEWING THIS INVESTMENT, POTENTIAL INVESTORS SHOULD KEEP IN MIND OTHER POSSIBLE RISKS THAT COULD BE IMPORTANT.

THE INVESTORS CONSIDERING THESE CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE SECURITIES ARE ADVISED TO SEEK LEGAL, TAX AND FINANCIAL COUNSEL PRIOR TO PARTICIPATING IN THE INVESTMENT POGRAM.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this document is executed on the day and year first above written.

2. Are able to bear the economic risk of losing the entire amount of their investment in the Securities;

3. Have an overall commitment to investments that are not readily marketable and which are not disproportionate to their net worth, and the investment in the Securities will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive;

5. Have substantial experience in making investment decisions of this type or are relying on their own professional representative in making this investment decision; and

6. Their own investment goals are compatible with the objectives of an investment in the Securities.

The suitability standards referred to above and below represent minimum suitability requirements for prospective investors, and the satisfaction of such standards by a prospective investor does not necessarily mean that the Securities are a suitable investment for a prospective investor. The Company reserves the right to reject the subscription of any prospective investor the Company believes, in its sole discretion, does not meet the standards for investment in the Securities. In addition, the Company reserves the right to waive the suitability standards in certain cases. In the Subscription Agreement provided in conjunction herewith, (the “Subscription Agreement”), potential investors must represent that they satisfy the suitability standards provide for herein.

Investor Suitability Standards.

The Company makes this offer for investment in the Units (the “Offering”) only to those individuals who meet certain investor suitability standards regarding both their financial ability to absorb loss of their investment and their investment sophistication. Rule 504 of Regulation D provides that the Company may offer the securities solely for investment purposes to investors who meet certain suitability standards established either by the Company or, in certain circumstances, by the laws of the investors’ domicile. Rule 1001 allows an additional exemption in [State of Domicile] according to Section 25102 (n)(2)(E). Therefore, unless the requirements of a particular state demand a higher amount, the suitability standards established by the Company for non-[State of Domicile] residents will be those of an “Accredited Investors” according to Rule 501.

The most common ways to meet the definition of an Accredited Investor are as follows:

1. Any natural person whose individual net worth, or joint net worth with that person’s spouse, at the time of his or her purchase exceeds [$??],000,000;

2. Any natural person who had an individual income in excess of $__,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with that person’s spouse in excess of $____,000 in each of those years and has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year;

3. Any trust, with total assets in excess of $_______,000, not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the securities offered, whose purchase is directed by a sophisticated person who has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he or she is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment; or

4. An entity in which all of the equity owners are Accredited Investors.

For [State of Domicile] residents the prospective investor must, during the year in which the investment is being made, have an estimated annual gross income of at least One Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ([$??]00,000) and a net worth, exclusive of personal residence, furnishings and automobiles, of at least ______________ U.S. Dollars ([$??]0,000) or, in the alternative, have a net worth of at least ____________________U.S. Dollars ($??],000).

The Company is offering the securities pursuant to available exemptions from registration under federal and state securities laws. The securities will be restricted securities and must be held indefinitely according to their terms. They may not be transferred unless pursuant to an effective registration statement or an available exemption from registration with an opinion from legal counsel to that effect, satisfactory to the company. The company is under no obligation, and has no intention, to register the securities and is under no obligation to attempt to secure an exemption for any subsequent sale.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some of the statements under “Executive Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Use of Proceeds,” “Financial Information,” and elsewhere in this Private Placement Memorandum constitute forward-looking statements. These statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In some cases, potential investors can identify forward-looking statements by terms, such as “may,” “intends,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “proposed,” “continue,” or the negative of these terms.

Since these Securities are not subject to the reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we currently are ineligible to rely on the safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Although forward-looking statements in this Memorandum reflect the good faith judgment of management, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to known and unknown risks, business, economic and other risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to be materially different from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Memorandum. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this Memorandum, other than as may be required by applicable law or regulation. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us herein, especially in the section titled Risk Factors, which attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, results of operation, and cash flows. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those expected or projected.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates or projections contained in the forward-looking statements include but are not limited to:

Internet sales depend on a commitment to internet marketing which is expensive and sales do not always correlate to the volume of marketing performed.

Competitor’s response in the market.

Due to the absence of any operating history, the Company may have overlooked other trends and conditions that could affect its business.

Ability to control costs in general.

The ability to market unique nutritional supplements according to the Company’s business strategy.

General economic conditions in the United States and other parts of the world.

Our ability to successfully develop or acquire new product lines or enter new markets or product categories, and risks related to such new lines, markets or categories.

The ability of our principal unit-holders to exercise significant influence over the Company.

The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless so required by applicable law. Because of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this Private Placement Memorandum might not occur. To the extent that the Company uses market data and industry standards in this Private Placement Memorandum, such information shall have been obtained from internal surveys, market research, publicly available information and industry publications. Industry publications generally state that the information they have provided has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but the accuracy and completeness of such information is not guaranteed.

We caution you that actual results or business conditions may differ materially from those projected or suggested in forward-looking statements as a result of various factors including, but not limited to, those described above and in the Risk Factors section of this Memorandum. We cannot assure you that we have identified all the factors that create uncertainties. Moreover, new risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all risks on our business or the extent to which any risk, or combination of risks, may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we undertake no obligation to publicly release the result of any revision of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events

Assuming that all [Class _ ] Preferred Units offered by the Company are sold, of which there is no assurance, the net proceeds to the Company will be approximately $______________, after deduction for expenses of approximately [$??]0,000 for this Offering.
